Ronaldo Reaches 949 Career Goals with Stunning Screamer as Al Nassr Thumps Al Fateh 5-1

Cristiano Ronaldo provided a moment of sheer brilliance to power Al Nassr to a dominant 5-1 victory over Al Fateh on Saturday in a Saudi Pro League clash that saw the Portuguese superstar net his 949th career goal. The victory extends Al Nassr’s perfect winning streak to five matches, solidifying their position at the top of the league table.

The match was a showcase of attacking flair, led by Al Nassr’s Portuguese contingent. The opening goal came from new signing João Félix in the 14th minute, but Al Fateh managed to equalize early in the second half through Sofiane Bendebka (54th minute).

The moment of drama arrived just before the hour mark. Ronaldo first stepped up to take a penalty but failed to convert, only to instantly redeem himself in spectacular fashion. In the 60th minute, less than a minute after the miss, the 40-year-old launched a stunning, long-range strike from outside the box that soared into the top corner, restoring Al Nassr’s lead at 2-1 and marking his historic 949th senior career goal.

Ronaldo’s inspirational effort opened the floodgates for the hosts. João Félix went on to complete a magnificent hat-trick, scoring again in the 67th and 79th minutes. Kingsley Coman also got on the scoresheet in the 75th minute to wrap up the 5-1 demolition.

Al Nassr’s dominant home performance at Al-Awwal Park sends a clear message to their title rivals, as they continue their flawless run under coach Jorge Jesus, leaving winless Al Fateh languishing near the bottom of the table.
